A message from the community
We are so grateful that after a long time without water, we now have clean and safe water in our community. We thank Lifewater Canada for the repair of our communal hand pump. ---Community Leaders
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
The children and adults in Dark Forest struggled for months to acquire safe water after the hand-powered pumps on their local water wells failed. Everyone was forced to drink from dirty creeks or shallow hand-dug wells prone to contamination. Every resident was fearful of contracting waterborne diseases. Then Lifewater, through the support of our donors, visited the community, repaired the broken pumps (including this one), and restored the flow of safe, easily accessible water.
Happy villager
